“Want to be the best in the world”: Heinrich Klaasen
South African power hitter Heinrich Klaasen never disappoints with his batting pyrotechnics as he once again showed his batting skills by inflicting pain on wounded England with his half-century to guide South Africa to a comfortable seven-wickets win on Saturday in Karachi. With the win, South Africa cruised into semi-final of the Champions Trophy. Talking about his innings, Klaasen said that he wants to be the beat batter in the world.
"I gave myself a challenge with Rob Walter this trip: I want to be the best in the world," Klaasen said. "But I want to be the best in the world, and I know I can play situations well and for me, just to keep hitting it on the ground for as long as possible, like I did tonight [is important]. I'm quite pleased with my innings tonight. [I scored runs] by standing still and just trusting my technique. I know my swing is good, so as long as it clicks then I am quite happy,” Klaasen said while speaking to Sky Sports.
Klaasen is content with his current form and said that he follows a process and keeps things simple.
“I think I'm very blessed at the moment where I'm with my game and understanding my game quite well," he said.
"I'm not a guy that faces all our seamers in the nets. I just do a couple of drills and face a little bit of spin. At the moment, I'm meeting the ball out of the middle of the bat. That's my piece that I go with, and as long as my technique is good, I'm quite happy."
“It's about standing there still," he said. "It was about three years ago that I really worked hard on that, just standing there still, not premeditating the game too much.”
